Re: Our New Help Wanted Ad.
I'm with the guys that wouldn't get a meeting. If someone has general expectations laid out they should have a good idea what they are paying..if they won't tell me I will assume its too little and not waste my time.
A person that is desperate enough for whatever reason to do things exactly your way may not be someone you want to hire. I used to be pretty cheap with hourly guys and subs too. I used to have to keep the names of people I had problems with in a folder because I would forget them in a year or two and they would come back to work for me again, with the same result (guess I have a bad memory lol). I finally learned that if I payed more and bent over backwards to always treat people politely and with alot of respect, I could be much much pickier about the things that really matter to me: work skills and habits and punctuallity for the most part. Its been a long time since I needed to keep a folder. |

Re: Our New Help Wanted Ad.Quote:
Here is an excerpt from one of three ads I post for Tenants for the units I manage/lease in Brooklyn. >If you are a slob and can not even clean your own dishes properly, do not call! >If you are spoiled and have never shared anything before, do not call!!! >If you are Mature, Experienced and like Mellow People who exhibit Common Courtesy in return for it being given, then by All Means CALL!!! I have NEVER had a vacancy between Tenants. I have NEVER had to evict anyone! I have NEVER had a Tenant bad mouth me! I get at least 5 responses within 20 minutes of the post. I do VERY LITTLE interviewing. If you respond to my add, you will probably fit the position. That IS HOW IT IS DONE IN NEW YORK!
